About our shower tray repair in Laxton

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and chips caused during fitting.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Laxton questions

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Laxton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Repair or replace in Laxton?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
